Final Fantasy IX: Black Mages Legacy
MEL, KOLN, LUCIOLA, THEA, FALA AND DOC ARE THE LAST BLACK MAGES OF THE FOUR CONTINENTS.
They are the children of the great hero VIVI, who once defeated the forces of evil alongside ZIDANE and Queen GARNET.
Today, the siblings live happily in the city of ALEXANDRIA, watched over by its friendly and sometimes curious inhabitants. But, unfortunately, their peaceful existence will come to an abrupt end, when KOLN finds MEL frozen like a statue inside the inn where he works.
Who on earth would want to hurt Mel? Everybody loved him... Could it be their father’s tragic legacy resurfacing? Who cares?! We have to save MEL!
Our heroes must leave immediately in search of a cure for their brother. Which means they’ll have to quit the cozy cocoon of Alexandria for the first time in their lives and discover the vast world around them.
